. (" from Shakti foundation), . (" from Council on Energy) and . (" from Environment and Water (CEEW))
This project was funded by Shakti foundation and supervised by Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW). The aim of this research was to elucidate farmer’s perspectives on solar pumps and understanding barriers that prevent them from adopting solar pumps for irrigation. The particular focus was on farmer’s awareness of solar pumps, their interest in adopting them and their willingness-to-pay to own a solar pump. Here the survey was carried out by Morsel in 10 selected districts of Uttar Pradesh covering 1600 farmers. In each district, 16 villages were selected based on simple random sampling using Census Village list for UP.
